necessity of winning both to end
the .season in a tje with Hempstead,
now leading by half a game. The
Freeporters are to meet Lawrence
on the local .court tomorrow nitflU,
when they hope to obtain revenge
for their first set back of the sea-son,
and a week later will engage
the Baldwin five on the Golden
Wave roiirt. Meanwhile, Hemp-tetead
win journey to North Bell-more
tomorrow night to meet a
Meplium team which has won only
three games out .of. ten played.
If the Red Devils'can overcome
the Lawrence hurdle/there Is every '
reason to expectjjm two teams to
end l he seasoTp on even terms,
necessitating a play-off unless Mep-
Jiam springs the unexpected In its
contest with Hempstead:
Everything went wrfWig during
the second hair for the Red Devils
in their encounter with the Hub
team on the Hempstead court Mon-day
afternoon when the visitors
lost, 35 to 32, to a five they had
beaten earlier in the season, 66 to
45. Freeport led at the quarter,
10 to S and at Hie half, 20 to 15, and
then the trouble started. In the
last moments to play, Dodd sank
two foul shots to knot the count at
32-32, after w h i c h Hempstead
scored one foul shot and a. field goal
to annex the contest. '-.^V'
Freeport scored only 12 points
during the entire half which is far
below its pace. Even Bill Dodd had
to be satisfied with 11 points, to
which Don Fellman added a similar
number, while two Hempstead
players also scored 11 points each.
The Red Devils had a narrow
escape in their'contest with Mep-ham
Friday night when they won
by only a one point margin, 40 to
39, after amassing a lead of 7 points
at the colse of the third period. It
was Mepham's showing In that con-test
that makes the Freeporters
hopeful the North Bellmore con-tingent
will turn the trick against
Hempstead and enable the locals
to win the L i t l e without a playoff.

presenting a message to Freeport

He declared it wasn't what was

When Mr. Rice became Postmaster in 1934, the Freeport Office em-jloyed
about 35 men, and although the receipts have increased about
:ive times since then, still the number of employees only doubled. Whlth
neans that the Freeport Post Office conducts its extra-heavy load of
work, efficiently and very capably, yet obviously understaffed. Thirty-oUr
of his men served in the armed forces, a great many gained high
honors and high ranks. The residents of Freeport have found that this
jublic service has been courteous and efficient, and the post-office is
called on to-answer many questions not related with postal work, and
to help out in many ways beyond the call of regular duty ..

on the local .court tomorrow nitflU,
when they hope to obtain revenge
for their first set back of the sea-son,
and a week later will engage
the Baldwin five on the Golden
Wave roiirt. Meanwhile, Hemp-tetead
win journey to North Bell-more
tomorrow night to meet a
Meplium team which has won only
three games out .of. ten played.
If the Red Devils'can overcome
the Lawrence hurdle/there Is every '
reason to expectjjm two teams to
end l he seasoTp on even terms,
necessitating a play-off unless Mep-
Jiam springs the unexpected In its
contest with Hempstead:
Everything went wrfWig during
the second hair for the Red Devils
in their encounter with the Hub
team on the Hempstead court Mon-day
afternoon when the visitors
lost, 35 to 32, to a five they had
beaten earlier in the season, 66 to
45. Freeport led at the quarter,
10 to S and at Hie half, 20 to 15, and
then the trouble started. In the
last moments to play, Dodd sank
two foul shots to knot the count at
32-32, after w h i c h Hempstead
scored one foul shot and a. field goal
to annex the contest. '-.^V'
Freeport scored only 12 points
during the entire half which is far
below its pace. Even Bill Dodd had
to be satisfied with 11 points, to
which Don Fellman added a similar
number, while two Hempstead
players also scored 11 points each.
The Red Devils had a narrow
escape in their'contest with Mep-ham
Friday night when they won
by only a one point margin, 40 to
39, after amassing a lead of 7 points
at the colse of the third period. It
was Mepham's showing In that con-test
that makes the Freeporters
hopeful the North Bellmore con-tingent
will turn the trick against
Hempstead and enable the locals
to win the L i t l e without a playoff.

Approximately 250 persons at-tended

sponsored by the Freeport
Inter-Faith Clergy Council and the
service clubs of the village in the

An inspiring address on "Hrother-hood"
was delivered by Dr. Robert
Gordes. of Par Rockaway. president
ot thj* Synagogue Council of Amer-ica.
Or. Gordes said that after
hearing ol the work of the hiter-
Failh Council and the u n l n i m l t y of
the various creeds In Freepoit, "L
cannot conceive of any outsider
presenting a message to Freeport
brotherhood."
He declared it wasn't what was
aid at brotherhood dinners that
ounted, but what people were.
He spoke ot the critical conditions
n the world today and blamed
hem on misunderstanding among
the nations. Only the practical
application of brotherhood, he add-ed,
could prevent catastrophe.

When Mr. Rice became Postmaster in 1934, the Freeport Office em-jloyed
about 35 men, and although the receipts have increased about
:ive times since then, still the number of employees only doubled. Whlth
neans that the Freeport Post Office conducts its extra-heavy load of
work, efficiently and very capably, yet obviously understaffed. Thirty-oUr
of his men served in the armed forces, a great many gained high
honors and high ranks. The residents of Freeport have found that this
jublic service has been courteous and efficient, and the post-office is
called on to-answer many questions not related with postal work, and
to help out in many ways beyond the call of regular duty ..
